This large artificial lake has its origins in the 16th century, within the landscape project entrusted by King Felipe II to the architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, for the conditioning of the Royal Site of the Casa de Campo. After an extensive restoration carried out in 2018, the lake is a perfect place to enjoy nature while having a drink in the bars and restaurants located around it, as well as to practice water sports or rent one of its boats.

From here there are some very nice trails. In addition, this tree is listed as a unique tree in the community of Madrid due to its exemplary nature. It has a huge trunk.
